In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. In another bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, salt, and olive oil. Gradually add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.

In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Make the Sauce

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the dough to fit a 12-inch deep dish pan. Press it into the pan, ensuring it covers the sides. Layer mozzarella cheese on the bottom, followed by sausage, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Pour the sauce over the toppings.

Bake the pizza for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
